WIKA
Part of your business

Solutions for pressure, temperature, force and level measurement, flow measurement, calibration and SF6 gas solutions from WIKA are an integral component of our customers' business processes.

This is why we consider ourselves to be not just suppliers of measurement components but rather more a competent partner that offers comprehensive solutions in close co-operation with our customers – customised and precisely designed products for the exact requirement.

Applications

Hygienic pressure measurement for the pharmaceutical industry and for aseptic food processing

Pressure/vacuum measurement on pipelines, fermenters, bioreactors and vessels as well as with processing and transport of high-quality media

Suitable for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)

For gases, vapour; liquid, pasty, powdery and crystallising media

Special features

Double-diaphragm system to ensure the separation of the process and the pressure measuring instrument

Clamp connection easy to open for cleaning and seal replacement

Suitable for SIP and CIP

Description

The WIKA combinations consisting of diaphragm seal, pressure measuring instrument and monitoring element are best suited for the harshest and hygienic measuring tasks. The systems can withstand the cleaning vapour temperatures occurring in SIP processes and ensure a sterile connection between the medium to be measured and the diaphragm seal.

The patented diaphragm monitoring has been designed specifically for the highest safety requirements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The monitoring element is mainly used for electrical signal transmission of the diaphragm condition. In addition, the diaphragm condition is displayed on a dial with red/green areas.

In the event of a diaphragm rupture, a second, internal diaphragm in the pressure measuring instrument ensures the reliable separation of the environment and the process.

Mounting of the diaphragm seal to the measuring instrument is made as direct mounting as standard. A fluid inside the system, which is explicitly chosen to suit the particular application, hydraulically transmits the pressure to the pressure measuring instrument.

Diaphragm seals with clamp connection have been specifically developed for use in sterile processes and are integrated into the process by means of a clamp. This ensures the hygienic process integration of the diaphragm monitoring system.
